Will UTSA’s Frank Harris be back for another title run? A name, image and likeness deal might persuade him
TOP: UTSA Coach Jeff Traylor celebrates with the team Friday night, Dec. 2, 2022 at the Alamodome after the Roadrunners beat the North Texas Mean Green 48-27 to win back-to-back C-USA championships.Frank Harris skipped away from defenders who could not catch him. With the Alamodome in a roar Friday, he skipped over the goal line. And at the end of the night, he skipped off the field into another celebration.
That challenge is coming. The Roadrunners appear ready for it. And if Harris, their ever-cool senior quarterback, comes back next season to help them face it?“It’s been a dream,” UTSA coach Jeff Traylor said after his team beat North Texas 48-27 on Friday, and somehow that doesn’t quite capture how surreal the Roadrunners’ rise has been.Three years ago, they were 4-8 and stuck in college football irrelevance.
“I tried to leave it all out there,” Harris said of what might have been his last game at the Alamodome. This is where the NCAA’s new rules allowing players to earn name, image and likeness compensation come into play. For all his prized attributes as a college quarterback, Harris doesn’t have an elite arm, and he’s never going to make millions of dollars playing in the NFL.
Harris meant it as a joke, but he’s also a poster guy for what NIL compensation was supposed to address. He’s not going to become wealthy playing football. But he’s the most popular player on a popular team in one of the nation’s biggest cities, and there’s no reason he shouldn’t be able to capitalize on that while he can.
Next year, if the Roadrunners win the American, their prize could be a trip to a major New Year’s Six bowl game. In 2024, when the College Football Playoff expands to 12 teams, the American champion will have a realistic chance to earn one of those spots.
